Femmes aux yeux ouverts (Women with eyes open) is a Togolese documentary film directed by Anne-Laure Folly.
[5] The film lets different women from Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Benin talk about how they deal with the issues they are facing.
It shows the paradox in which women have great responsibility for the survival and welfare of their families, but are given little voice in major decisions.
[8] Alice Walker said of the film: It takes courage to see the true condition of women in the world and to speak out about it.
The women in this film possess the necessary radical vision that neither romanticizes nor renders remote the obvious consequences of female enslavement.
